As featured in New York magazine, French artist Lise Sarfati's work has been compiled in to a photographic book: depicting Russia, post communism. Without any voyeurism, Sarfati unveils a culture through colors which communicate an industrial dream era. Consider the second photo from the top: two homosexual boys coming of age at the same time as their homeland. Within the deep gloom, Sarfati's photos embrace this transitional period following the collapse of communism. Much of her subject matter leans to the traditional Russian country homes- in contrast with Soviet-era construction and disaffected youth.
